Jesse Taylor upsets Drew Fickett at Total Combat 32

http://mmajunkie.comDespite earning a spot in the finale of “The Ultimate Fighter 7″ earlier this year, Jesse Taylor was kicked out of the competition and the UFC after a drunken Las Vegas rampage.

Taylor got a second shot with the organization, but he was again kicked out of the UFC after a loss to C.B. Dollaway and some questionable comments he made about Quinton Jackson and the UFC’s management team back in July.

The fight capped off Saturday’s “Notorious” event — the first MMA show for Sycuan Ringside Promotions (in conjunction with Total Combat Entertainment) — at the Sycuan Resort & Casino near San Diego in El Cajon, Calif. The event drew an announced sold-out crowd of 2,800.

The Taylor-Fickett fight, held at a catch weight of 175 pounds, ended in less than two minutes.

Taylor, a two-time junior college All-American and former Cal State Fullerton wrestler, scored an early takedown. Once there, his ground-and-pound onslaught opened a deep gash on Fickett’s forehead and eventually forced a stoppage at the 1:42 mark.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
